A Tuffwrap-encased iPod does not call attention to itself, which is a definite security feature. Cushioning is good, and port access is excellent, with (bravo!) a durable flap to cover an iPod’s dock port.

Wow. That was the first thing out of my mouth after I tried the XtremeMac Airplay Boost FM transmitter for the 5th generation iPods. I later tried the second generation Nano Airplay Boost. I was equally as impressed. Both models "hijacked" the radio station I had them tuned too, and gave a clear, static free sound.

This week, while Chad is on holiday camping out in the great wilderness and working on a top-secret Apple project (see Chris Seibold’s Not Mac News in the show for more details) Tim heads to Kalamazoo to record the show with regular guest Tad Scheeler as co-host.

A few days late, but MyMac Podcast 30 is online and can be downloaded here in MP3 format. This show is an hour long, hope you don’t mind. Time flies when you are having fun, as we did recording this weeks show.

This week, we talk about why we are three days late recording the Podcast. It is all good, Tim just had an important job to finish before he could make the long trek to the recording studio to meet up with Chad and record this week. But next week, look for the Podcast to be early.

Our feature this week and our contest is one and the same. We look at the bib box of goodies sent to MyMac.com from XtremeMac.
